Aspen Grove 2 bedroom at Bobcat Ridge
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
We have vacationed in Estes Park for 30 years and this condo is our new favorite! We loved the views, the covered deck with gas grill, and the best stocked kitchen I have ever used in a vacation condo. The decor was lovely, and the spacious floor plan made it very comfortable - and we stayed for a month! The mattresses were great, and the linens were really nice. The many extras provided by the owner really mattered - umbrellas, hiking day pack, DVDs, coolers, first aid kit, plenty of supplies, folding chairs, etc.
We like the location on Hwy 7, making it easy to get around town and avoid the downtown traffic when necessary. Quiet neighborhood with wildlife in the yard was also a plus.
We kept busy with fly-fishing (mostly on the Big Thompson River), hiking & picnicking in Rocky Mountain National Park, festivals every weekend during the month, and live music on the Riverwalk or Performance Park downtown. We particularly enjoyed the Autumn Gold festival, showcasing 6 different bands. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in Estes Park, but the Tavern at Mary's Lake Lodge is one of our favorites. There's plenty of fun shopping too. Since we didn't have children with us this trip, we skipped our regular miniature golf tournaments (there are two great places in town). RMNP favorites include the walk around Lily Lake (south on Hwy 7) and Sprague Lake on Bear Lake Road.
I would highly recommend this condo ... the 2 bedroom/2 bath works well for 2 couples. The larger condos at Bobcat Ridge with 3 bedrooms would work better for larger families. Only one TV in this unit, which might be a problem for some families.
